The final eclipse of 2025 will unfold this weekend, but despite some of the hype online, most of the world will miss the event.
On Sept. 21, a partial solar eclipse will take place over a small corner of the globe. Partial eclipses are not nearly as dramatic as total eclipses, when the moon completely blocks the sun for several minutes and the sky briefly turns dark. In this case, daylight will dim slightly, but the sun will never fully disappear behind the moon.
The moon will cover up to 85 percent of the sun at the height of the event, but it will only be visible from New Zealand, the east coast of Australia, some Pacific islands and part of Antarctica.
Only 0.20 of the entire population of the globe live in the area expecting the eclipse, according to TimeandDate.com.
